FRiends of the alamance county public libraries support the programs and activities of the Alamance County Public Libraries. Our mission is to increase interest in and to raise the level of library services in our community, to better relationships between library staff and community, to give and allow the exchange of information, and to encourage education and literacy. Friends of the Alamance County Public Libraries is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation, and all your contributions are tax deductible.

More simply put, we do what Friends are supposed to do – make your life better.

The Friends of the Alamance County Public Libraries is a 501-(C)-3 nonprofit group formed to serve as a vibrant, active advocate of local libraries, education, and literacy. We are a totally volunteer organization whose members spend hundreds of hours each year in support of our cause.

The hard-working, energetic, and creative staff of the Alamance County Public Libraries are constantly seeking better ways to serve our community. In the past year, the ACPL branches had over half a million patron visits. Our Friends organization provides additional funding for many library programs to make them even more effective. We also provide support to a wide variety of community literacy programs.

The majority of our funding comes from our wildly popular, twice-yearly book sales. The books, CDs and DVDs we sell have been donated by members of the community, so our profit margin is 100%!

We also benefit from annual membership fees and cash donations. We hope you will consider purchasing a membership, renewing at a higher membership level, or making a donation.
